irolexu Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 So this is my second TW best and I opted to make this one my GRAIL! BK's WM9 SL hands and dial, noob bracelet with correct hollow mid-links, TW clasp assembly, Crystal adjusted with taller gasket for better crystal rise and date mag, and gen parts possibly coming in. I feel like this is the best this sub can get with out putting GEN parts on it. Only thing I can think of that would improve this watch is better SEL fit but I am not sure how I can achieve that at the moment. My last TW my watchmaker installed gen spring barks which indeed made the SEL fit a lot better. I am hunting hard for a GEN crystal for a 16610 submariner if any one ever sees one let me know! thanks for reading and check out the pics!

giobo Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) I am also waiting for a noob bracelet to try on my tw..What do you mean about the Sel fit??Isn't it tight??Because the small sel's of the noob bracelet are correct but if it isn't tight it is a problem..Did you try the original spring bars the tw came with??they are fatter then the noob's... Also consider to put a gen crown except than insert and crystal....It will correct a little bit the CG's which look so big..

Gen crown is on the to do list and there's a gold and silver shop that works on Rolex they love my TW so they work on it and they made the last one so that bracelet was a perfect fit I guess they use huge spring bars not sure.

giobo Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 So why do you want to improve the SEL fit??Once you say it is the best and next time you want to improve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 So why do you want to improve the SEL fit??Once you say it is the best and next time you want to improve... I want to improve it because it can be done. I have done it before and it turned out great so why not. A replica can always be improved am I wrong?
